Heading off to sunny NOLA to spend time with the in-laws, eat fried sea creatures, go to a drag race (I know! It sounds crazy to me too!) and drink. Also hoping to squeeze some writing and grading in the mix. Should be a busy few days.

Between I-don’t-even-know-what and your-guess-is-as-good-as-mine, I haven’t done as much writing as I’d like of late. I’ve been squeezing in some crits for friends here and there (office hours, while dinner is cooking, on the subway) but I haven’t gotten much of my own tippity-tap done in several days.

Partly I’m waiting on feedback on a new short I sent out to crit partners over the weekend. Partly I’m totally sucked into reading Lonesome Dove (for about the 800th time) and weeping intermittently as awful things happen to pretty much everyone in the book. Partly I’m lame and apparently afraid to write the last few chapters of my novel.

Maybe a change of scene will help 🙂

What are you up to on this lovely Friday?
